Service

ShareFair provides interview sessions with experts for professionals conducting market research or exploring opportunities for new businesses.

Experts who share their knowledge are called “advisors”. When a client makes a request, ShareFair finds relevant advisors who are familiar with the research topic using a proprietary technology. Based on this advisor candidate list, the client will choose advisor(s) to have a conference call.

We have two differentiating features – referral system and review.

(1) Referral system is used for the advisors to suggest other advisors who may be able to help answer specific business questions for the clients.

ShareFair will first contact existing advisors identified as the relevant experts. Advisors can either respond to a request for interview and / or refer their friends with the expertise specified. A referral system maximizes clients’ success to find the precise experts, and raises advisors’ profile in the network.

(2) Review - we ask clients and advisors give feedback to ShareFair after the session. This is our mechanism to make the session effective and fruitful for each other.

Lastly but most importantly, we are committed to put compliance, data security and privacy of both our clients and advisors as our very first priority, due to the nature of the information we handle.
